This strap is cut from the jeans below, low leg section. The strap edge is wrapped to prevent fraying and give a clean look. The strap is padded with leather to increase strength. Light tan color thread is used to match the original thread color. Black calf leather is used for the back lining. I also used the button to brand the back side of the strap. Two treatments are used on the denim top to enhance the water resistance. However, it is not water proof.
